Re: 150 years in pictures

The picture of the pitch being laid reminds me of the time our groundsman put down weedkiller rather than feed pre-season, trying to recall when that was.. 1980's? Was it Neat?

Re: Do you sometimes think you`ve had enough.

One key difference from the "Good Old Days" was then there was no expectation: we were a lower league team, in a sh1t ground, that never achieved anything - that was not the reason to go to support Reading. Now we expect quality football and RFC to challenge for things. It won't always hap...

Re: New Stadium

We should move to a more central site, and with safe-standing, should build a crumbling concrete bowl on 3 sides with a fire trap of a main stand. The toilets will be built at the top of the bowl so they can overflow down the terrace, that aroma will add to the stench of fried onions.. and with a ti...

Re: Club 1871 - the What, When, Where, How, Who & Why Thread

Excellent work by club 1871 today! One of their quieter days I thought. Maybe, but its days like this that Club 1871 comes into its own. In the past, a dull game with small away support = Mad Stad library. The atmosphere generated does ripple out around the Stadium - even to us snoozing in the ED o...

Re: Autumn snuggles

Yes but the thing with winter is you know you're moving towards better days. Not only is autumn shit, but you know you're just moving into winter. Double whammy. That's why I prefer Spring over summer. Not only is it great, but you know you have summer ahead. In order for me: Spring Summer WInter A...
